Once upon a time, there was a mother lion who lived in the jungle. She loved eating mangos but one day, she found a mouse who had stolen her mango. The lion chased the mouse and the mouse ran away with the mango.

The mouse ran into a monkey who was eating a lemon. The monkey asked the mouse what was wrong, and the mouse told him about the lion chasing him. The monkey had an idea and he told the mouse to give the lion the lemon instead of the mango.

When the lion caught up to the mouse, he demanded the mango back. But the mouse handed over the lemon instead. The lion took a bite of the sour lemon and made a funny face. The mouse and the monkey burst out laughing.

The lion couldn't help but laugh along with them. From that day on, the lion, the mouse, and the monkey became good friends and would always share their fruit together. They all lived happily ever after in the jungle.
